Milestones

 Hi Amanda,

Well, not only PTS; maybe a reactive depression too. Anyway, I think the SRRI's helped with severity of flushing too, and also some perception of pain.. I was told this by Psych. I did leave things longer than I should, therefore I urge people to get help early..talk to someone professional and / or take meds if necessary. They can help you to feel a bit better. No point in being miserable and stressed, unhappy,  irritable and focusing on your pain !  I also take livial.. which has sort of like a hormone effect, but not a hormone. You can google it. I have an oestrogen pessary twice weekly also. I do not like taking ANYthing really.. but..well..I do not want to be miseralbe and will try and keep well as I can.  My body does feel like it has aged 10/ 15/ or even 20 years older than my peers since chemo effects, I have found those 65 to 75.. are at my physical level almost. I relate to younger people too, but not their energy level...LOL 

I better do what  I want to now.. cos ..who knows how long we will be here.

 I am on a pretty level playing field now and pace myself, rest when I need too etc.. and KEEP THINGS SIMPLE... LOL

I am glad you have support and you are assessing things as time rolls on.

Have a nice xmas.. and keep those blogs coming ( no pressure though.. do not feel obligated; only if you have time and the wish to )... all the stuff.. good and bad. Your writings may help someone else in the same situation and  us early BC people too.

You do have a way with words... The best to you and your family, they and you come first.

Kathy. OOXX TC.
